Fun day out for a special young lady

FAMILY, friends and neighbours poured into the Yamba Golf Club yesterday to enjoy a fun day out for a very special person.

The man responsible for Day for Sasha, Lee Johns said the event was all about bringing the community together.

"The weather's been really good to us and we're seeing a good turnout," he said.

Mr Lee met Sasha's parents, Angela and Tim Berry, through netball and was also able to help them with the purchase of their property after moving to the Clarence Valley from Victoria.

"I just wanted to organise some more fun for her," he said.

More than 130 golfers, from the young to the young at heart, made it out onto the green early yesterday morning to play a round for Sasha while families had their fun at the range of activities on offer, from body art, a jumping castle, mini golf to the most popular attraction: colouring in.

However, there was a notable absence on the day. Sasha and her parents.

Last month, Sasha was hospitalised due to complications.

They had hoped to attend the Day for Sasha.

Fortunately, her two older sisters Zahri and Alani Berry were on hand to capture the moment for her.
